WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and
related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, chemicals known to cause cancer
and reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.
WARNING: Avoid skin contact with battery
acid.
Always wear eye protection when checking the
battery, acid can cause serious injury to skin and
eyes. If contact occurs, flush area with clean
water and call physician immediately. Acid will
also damage clothing.
Do not allow open flame near the battery when
charging.
Hydrogen gas forms inside the battery. This gas
is both toxic and flammable and may cause an
explosion if exposed to flame. Always remove
the negative ground first and replace it last.
Do not overfill battery.
Electrolyte may overflow and damage paint,
wiring or structure. When cleaning the battery,
use soap and water. Be careful not to get soap
and water into the battery. Use soda mixed in
water to clean corrosion off the terminals.
WARNING: Shorts caused by battery terminals
or metal tools touching metal tractor components
can cause sparks. Sparks can cause a battery gas
explosion which will result in personal injury.
Prevent the battery terminals from touching any
metal tractor parts when removing or installing
the battery.
Do not allow metal tools to short between the
battery terminals and metal tractor parts.
WARNING: Incorrect battery cable routing
could cause damage to the tractor and battery
cables. This can cause sparks which can cause a
battery gas explosion which will result in
personal injury.
Always disconnect the negative (black) battery
cable before disconnecting the positive (red)
cable.
Common circuit failures are usually caused by shorting,
corroded or dirty terminals; loose connections, defective
wire insulation or broken wires. Switches, solenoids and
ignition components may also fail, causing a shorted or open
circuit.
Before attempting any failure diagnosis of the electrical
system, use a test light or voltmeter to check the battery
voltage. If the battery voltage is satisfactory, check the
cleanliness and tightness of the terminals and ground
connections. A general understanding of electrical servicing
and use of basic test equipment is necessary for
troubleshooting and repair.
Major overhaul or repair of the starting motor or
alternator should be performed by trained technicians only.
Access to engine and hydraulic
pumps
The hydraulic pumps are accessed by lifting the seat
platform. The seat platform is hinged at the front. To raise
it, release seat latch and tilt seat platform up and forward.
The seat platform catch (Fig. 4-4) will prevent the seat from
going all the way over. However, if more access is desired
under the seat platform, the seat platform catch can be raised
allowing the seat to pivot more. Make certain to place the
control arms in the park brake position and pivot the
arm rests upward before placing the seat platform in the
full forward position to prevent arm rest damage.
WARNING: Always wear adequate eye
protection when servicing the hydraulic system
and battery.
Hydraulic system
IMPORTANT: Never use hydraulic or automatic
transmission fluid in this system; use only motor oil as
specified. Remember, dirt is the primary enemy of any
hydraulic system.
WARNING: Hydraulic oil escaping under
pressure can penetrate skin. Hydraulic oil may
cause infection in a minor cut or opening in the
skin. If exposed to hydraulic fluid, see a doctor
at once.
